Do you guys use an anti-rootkit program along with other security programs like spybot, adaware and anti-virus/firewall? or do you find that these programs detect/remove/prevent root kits?

thanks

i dont run an anti rootkit in real time but from time to time i run either sysinternals rootkit revealer or the suprisingly good panda anti-rootkit

Thanks for the reply eyeball. Is everyone else in agreement?

AVG also has an Anti-Rootkit available. Personally SysInternals is great for looking "under the hood".

[cypher_soundz]

sysinternals rootkit reaveler
avg anti rootkit
gmer
darkspy
icesword

(in that order)
and also

snoop free (for blocking key reading)

I've not used panda anti rootkit, but i look in to that now

This is an old thread, but are these programs still good? & does any one have any new suggestions? Thanks!

The AVG anti-rootkit has been folded into their paid anti-virus product, and consequently, any updates to it have been done there..

GMER is still under development as far as I know, as are Trend's Rootkit Buster and F-Secure's Blacklight. The last two are probably the n00b-friendlier choices.

Yes it has, but when I made the post originally it was a free, separate download. Check out the date of the post you quoted.
